I'm planning on buying components individually and piecing together a
computer. I'd like to install Debian Linux on it. I'm not buying any of
the latest and greatest stuff, and the hardware I have picked out is
pretty standard fare, nothing too fancy. So I'm pretty sure everything
will "just work" (TM), but I'd still kind of like to verify each piece
before I just buy everything, slap it together, install and pray.
I was wondering if anyone could suggest any techniques, very good
websites, or anything else to try to verify that, yes, there are indeed
working drivers for my hardware.

Welcome to the club.
Built this two-seater from scratch.
But...
There are lots of pitfalls: this board (EP-8VTAI) and its BIOS won't let
me boot the SATA drive.
The sensors stuff was touch and go in the beginning.
Most websites (all?) lag the new equipment that is readily available, so
you are always chasing "works with linux" reviews and forums and
sometimes they just aren't around.
And you build up an attitude about what M$ does to hardware.
So its Russian roulette very often.
